3. The Fundamental Question ofPhilosophy
• The main question of
philosophy is the
question
of the relationship between
Matter and the Spirit
• Matter (from lat. māteria "substance“
Objective reality given us in our
sensations (atoms, molecules,
microparticles)
The spirit is called the
nonmaterial part of a person,
which includes consciousness,
feelings, ideas, character, soul
19.
2 Sides of the Main Question: Ontology andGnoseology
• 1) What comes first: Matter
or Spirit? (Ontology is the
doctrine of Being)
• Ontos (Being) Life
• Being - in the broadest
sense - existence and reflects
the entire existing world
• Opposite concept - NONBEING ( Death)
«The great Mysteries of our existence are yet to be
unraveled even Death may not be the end» Nicolo Tesla
20.
2) Do we know the world?)
1) Do we know the world?
2) Сan we know the world ?
3) Can we know the world to the
end and answer all questions?
4)can we answer the question
about what was at the beginning
of the world? about the primacy
of things?
Gnoseology the doctrine of
knowledge
21.
Materialism and IdealismMaterialism is a philosophical
worldview based on the
idea of the primacy of
Matter.
• The world is known by
science
Idealism is a philosophical
worldview based on the
idea of the primacy of Spirit
, an idea. The world cannot
be known to the end,
because the world is
infinite, man is a finite
being (agnosticism)
22.
Philosophy concepts• Monism is a philosophical worldview,
according to which the source of the
world is one single substance, either
Matter or Spirit.
• Dualism is a philosophical worldview
based on the concept of two principles
of the world and two substances.
• Objective idealism consists of the
belief that the idea is independent of
the human mind.
• Subjective idealism claims that the
idea is inherent in human
consciousness.
23.
4. Philosophical Methods• A Method is a system of principles
of practical and theoretical activity.
Methodology - the doctrine of the
methods of cognition and their
totality.
• Philosophical methods are
universal and inherent in any
theoretical knowledge of all
sciences: exact and humanitarian,
natural, technical, social, etc. A
distinctive feature of philosophical
methods is Universality.
24.
Dialectics• Dialectics is a
philosophical method that
considers reality
comprehensively, in
development, in motion
and in the interconnection
of all its elements.
• Dialectics - maieutics, the
art of arguing
• "Truth is born in a dispute“
Everything flows,
everything changes"
You can't step into
the same river twice."
(Heraclitus)
25.
3 Laws of Dialectics• 1. The law of unity and confrontation of
opposites explain the reason for the
development
• 2. The law of the transition of quantity into
quality - explains the mechanism of
development
• 3. The law of "negation of negation" - the
emergence of the new on the basis of the old explains the direction of development
26.
Dialectical spiral of development27.
Metaphysics• The philosophical method
opposite to dialectics is
Metaphysics, which explains
the movement, but not the
development of matter.
What is the difference
between movement
and development?

5.The main functions of philosophy:• The formation of a worldview, which determines the
ability of a person to combine all knowledge about the
world into an integral system, considering it in unity
and diversity.

theoretical analysis of the surrounding world, the
formation of a scientific picture of the world
• - an epistemological (cognitive) function of philosophy
